When Chua Soi Lek is more attractive than the bride and groom..


A friend got married. She looks stunning, no one doubt. The wild girl, whom I know never put her hands off of outdoor activities together with the boyfriend (now husband), looks so tame. I bet she won't stop hiking and climbing even after having dozens of kids. The moment I hug Farah, my swimming partner, my diving buddy after the ceremony, she said, aku tunggu ko lepas ni, aku tunggu ko je lepas ni, repeatedly. Same line in the sms she texted me a day after the wedding, thanking for coming. Yeah, like marriage can be done in jiffy..

The eight-day


The initial plan was to hike Mt. Kinabalu (again), on top of the idea of going somewhere else, doing something else on that pretty date (080808). Looking at the point that I was licking the Low's Peak sign board at 7.07 a.m on 070707 last year, so it seems not happening to just wake up, go to work, come back home and have dinner on that rhythmic day. Scratching out for penny, time and partner, I still look forward to do something that can be remembered (not getting hooked, definitely) on this day but pitily the day turned like a normal ones. The highlight of the day was I finally watched Ayat-ayat Cinta which I consider OK though some parts dissappoint me since I had read the novel earlier. Look ahead for 090909, deep inside I wish it will be more eventful, be it just at home.
